The Chiefs let Brooks fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tahj Brooks got past him. The Chiefs do not have to explain a thing at pick 226.
Reaching for Turner left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shemar Turner this early at No. 66. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
They paid up for Ashton Gillotte at Round 3, Pick 21 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Mello Dotson
They liked Mello Dotson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 123. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick133
Rnd4
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the 133rd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 153 with a little surplus value in Pat Bryant. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
They barely believed it either: Jaylen Reed still on the board at pick 208. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick226
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at the 226th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
Nice patience on Jabbar Muhammad, who had no business lasting to the 251st overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick257
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
The board had Theo Wease Jr. higher than slot 257, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
